Parallel CLI


A Unix-friendly CLI for the Parallel Search and Extract APIs.

Semantic search and content extraction that understands intent, not just keywords — right from your terminal.

Install

``bash
bun install -g @rikalabs/parallel
`

Setup

Get your API key at parallel.ai, then:

`bash
parallel config set-key --key
`

Search

`bash
parallel search --query "latest news about AI"
`

With agentic reasoning:

`bash
parallel search --query "compare React vs Vue" --mode agentic
`

Extract

`bash
parallel extract --url https://example.com
`

With a specific objective:

`bash
parallel extract --url https://example.com --objective "find pricing"
`

Batch Processing

`bash


Multiple queries

parallel search --query "topic 1" --query "topic 2" --concurrency 5

From stdin

cat urls.txt | parallel extract --stdin --concurrency 10
`

Options

`
--format json|text Output format (default: json)
--pretty Pretty print output
--max-results N Number of results (default: 10)
--concurrency N Parallel requests (default: 5)
`

Run parallel --help for full documentation.
